Profiles versus Ads in Newspapers

Looking at profiles posted in general, most are vague or border on the arrogant with the person clearly full of themselves. Never mind the structure, or the writing skill, or lack thereof; any effort to actually entice a possibly interested inquiry falls rather short when 'read' between the lines and one may be left with the fairly clear impression that their reality is not something that you'd wish to experience in any form. Many lack imagination and that ability to set off your own imagination into the realms of possibly wanting to experience that person in any positive way. Then again, perhaps I haven't read enough to form a more positive impression or to make an introduction and inquiry.
For now, I'm rather missing the old 'singles ads' that, for the most part, are basically gone from the pages and sections that were euphemistically known as 'the lovelorn columns' in most papers around the country. What remains seem to be only graphically written descriptions of what their s*xual appetites are and how you can satisfy them. If your own s*xual inclinations are not the same or even more pronounced, it is certainly no way to ever meet someone with whom it may be possible to actually 'fall in love with' and go skipping through the tulips together, hand in hand.
On the other hand, I miss the sheer hilarious bravado and 'chutzpah' of many of the old style ads, such as:
"Amateur gentleman, who is a closet barbarian, is seeking a nice slim lady, 18-65, likes her hair purple, for wild dining, kinky dancing and Walt Disney cartoon festivals. Must be High school graduate. Please reply with full length photo to P.O. box 507, Batwing, Ontario B6T 3W9"
The above raises many questions and I'm sure, for many, all sorts of 'red flags' Sort of reminds me of someone from The Rocky Horror Show...
"I'm into whipped cream, chocolate syrup and garlic spread.
This wild lady needs a professional executive or fast and savage recreational relationship. Reply in person for interview at Mabel's Strip 'N' Eat Steak House. (corner of Sleazy and S&M Lane, Ratwhiskers, Ark."
Modern profiles aren't nearly so ...well, interesting...
